Mexicans speak the language of the Spaniards. Spain put people in Mexico and a lot of other places, knowing their language and way of life. The Mexicans were being controlled by the Spaniards and fought back for Independence. The Spaniards has to retreat. The Mexiacans made them look bad. "Haha, you can't even control your own people." They probably heard that a lot... but in Spanish...

Let me see if I can get this fact across to you....The Spaniards developed the Spanish language.Cool huh.A few hundred years ago the Spain sent their boys over to South and North America .After partying out for a hundred years or so the peoples of these areas adopted the language.That is why Mexico and many South American countries speak Spanish..

Mexicans are from Mexico - Spaniards are from Spain. They all speak Spanish. I've never heard that they hated each other.

I beleive that spainards just dont like being called mexican. Actually Mexicans speak spanish because spain invaded them at some point, the origin of the language is actually Spain. So theoretically the mexicans speak the spanish language.

Lordy, yet another example of a vapid generalization. Guess what? It's NOT the case that all Spaniards hate ALL Mexicans.
Some may dislike being called Mexican just as some English people may dislike being mistaken for Americans. In both cases, it's usually because the "injured" party has a low sense of self-worth that needs to be bolstered by him/her being considered by others to belong to a "better" ethnic group (as if there were "better" groups - what a laugh.)
And, by the way, your question has it backwards. The Spanish language originated in SPAIN - they spoke it first and exported it to Mexico. So, the Spaniards speak Spanish, well, duh - because it's their language.

I was not aware that Spaniards hated Mexicans ...
Mexico is a 3rd world country and Spain is not which may
explain some of the disdain held by Spaniards for Mexicans.
Mexicans speak Spanish, Spaniards do not speak Mexican.
Can't blame them for not wanting to be called Mexicans if they
are Spaniards...
Brits don't want to be called Australians & vice versa...

Yeah, and not all Mexicans communicate Spanish, some communicate Nahuatl, Maya, Mixtec...you be responsive to? anyhow, the closes element to a genuine Mexican language is Nahuatl, which grew to become into spoken via the Mexica human beings. the unique Mexicans. I kinda puzzled if different ethic communities had their very own language in Spain, like Catalan. I constantly concept they spoke comparable languages with distinctive dialects or some thing. It kinda annoys me while human beings communicate "spanish" to me using fact i'm Guatemalan American. in spite of the shown fact that it is not a great deal.

They probably hate being called Mexicans like Americans and Canadians dislike being mistaken for the other? I hope the first line of the question was a joke....
